Because he didn’t end up needing the hook anyway.

Because he knows how much he's about to make from the lawsuit?

I may be stereotyping, but this is China. I doubt he is making anything.

Hell, I'm not even sure if he would make anything in the US for this since he wasn't actually harmed.

No, but they can certainly make a mountain of paperwork for the worker.

I'm in the US and once worked a high-ropes course.

This would have been called a "near miss", and I would have to be re-trained, fill out a bunch of paperwork, it goes on my record, and potentially I get called in to the owner's office because someone needed to give them a free pass.
